Can anyone show beyond any doube that the fall of Jerusalm happened in 607 B.C.E?

Interesting question!

So, if you are correct that does not change Danial's calculations just the date in which it starts.and the proof (Hitler in power instead of WW1)

Mr. Russell left Proverbs 4:18 as a foundation of his understanding of scripture.

In the recent Bible study aid, "Thy Kingdom Come", they acknowledged in the back that present archaeological evidence seems to lean toward 587 B.C.E. They based their chronology on the fact that 539 B.C.E. is extremely widely documented as the fall of Babylon, at which the Persian conquerors decreed that all the exiled Jews who wished to could now return to Jerusalem and rebuild it, ending its 70-year desolation, with government backing (Ezra 1), coupled with the Bible's plain statement that the desolation of Jerusalem lasted 70 years according to Jeremiah's well-known prophecy. For 587 to be the time of the beginning of the fulfillment of that prophecy then the faithful returning Jews would have had to delay returning to their homeland to rebuild God's temple from Babylon for 22 years after Cyrus' decree liberating them. Read Ezra chapter 1 carefully. If you had been a faithful Jew back then, would YOU have dilly-dallied twenty-two years?

Also, "present archaeological findings" denied for years the existence of the Hittite empire. Now the encyclopedia says, "...in confirmation and amplification of the Bible account,..." the Hittites are one of the best documented ancient empires, their capital and a large library being unearthed.

But what does Hitler's rise to power have to do with it? You surely know that the Bible said that the establishment of the Kingdom would cause an unprecedented time of trouble for the earth, don't you? Revelation 12:9-...--"Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the KINGDOM of our God...Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time..." And Psalm 110:1-3: "The rod of thy strength God will send forth out of Zion, Rule thou in the midst of thine ENEMIES." (sorry, no Bible handy). Even 1914 saw the start of the First World War. That was a fulfillment of prophecy, not a negation of it.

The evidence of the bible, and the fulfillment of the signs of the end, have proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt, Jerusalem fell in 607 BCE.

Now will you accept or reject the 'proof' is another question all together.

Hi,

JW'S love to put dates on everything. At one point in time they tried to predict the second coming of Christ... which they failed at miserably. Have you tried to research other scriptural history outside of the JW"S literature? I think you'll get a better perspective of historical dates if you look at multiple research works. The Witnesses haven't cornered the market on scriptural history, and Taz Russell wasn't the most honest person that has ever quoted scripture.
